Introduction

Understanding self-consolidating concrete is becoming more and moreimportant as the use of this type of mix becomes ever more popular.Meanwhile, the higher level of technology it involves requires a higher level of expertise on the part of those who develop it. Its benefits can achieveenormous labor and cost savings, but only if carried out correctly.

This paper will cover what constitutes a self-consolidating concrete, how it works, and its applications. Exploring these topics includes looking at thecomponents of SCC that make it different from normal concrete. These are

primarily the aggregates and chemical admixtures. This paper also includessome of the research that has been conducted in these areas. Supplying thereader with this knowledge will then allow pointing out the many benefits andcommon pitfalls in using self-consolidating concrete. Once understanding themix itself has been developed, this paper presents the more commonly usedinstruments for measuring and defining SCC properties. Finally, somesuccessful applications around the world will be presented.

This paper is not an all-inclusive summary of the research that has been doneto advance the technology, nor does it set down a specific formula for creating

an SCC mix. Rather, it recognizes that there are numerous methods andrecommendations proposed by experts and tries to explain the fundamentalreasoning behind each. In this way, the continually advancing field of self-consolidating concrete makes it an exciting study.

Definition

SCC which stands for Self-Consolidating Concrete, or Self-Compacting

Concrete, has many other names. It is also called High-Workability Concrete,Self-Leveling Concrete1, or Flowing Concrete.2 All the above terms are used todescribe a highly workable concrete that needs little to no vibration during placement.3 It is in want of a standard definition, but may be nominally considered a concrete mix of exceptional deformability during casting, whichstill meets resistance to segregation and bleeding.4 Inadequate vibration of normally consolidated concrete in heavily congested areas has led to surfacedefects and inadequate bond with the rebar.5 Because of its low viscosity during pouring, self-consolidating concrete can fill heavily reinforced areasunder its own weight, without applying vibration. SCC is also used to create

“super-flat” floors (1mm over a length of 4m) without post-pour leveling.6

The highly flowable nature of SCC is due to very careful mix proportioning,usually replacing much of the coarse aggregate with fines and cement, andadding chemical admixtures. It depends on the sensitive balance betweencreating more deformability while ensuring good stability, as well asmaintaining low risk of blockage. See Figure 1.

In fact, since there is not yet a standard definition for SCC, it has beencontended that a better term would be SCT, or Self-Consolidating Technology,because it is the technology behind the chemical admixtures that allows thecreation of this highly workable and stable mix.9 Usually a mix with high fines

content, low water-to-cement ratio, and less coarse aggregates becomes toostiff to work effectively. At the same time, a high viscosity mix through greaterfines and higher water content would have problems with segregation, strength,and durability, among many other important concrete properties. However,these all-important qualities can now be spared from sacrifice in order toachieve highly flowable and stable mixes, due to recent improved technology inadmixtures.

Chemical Admixtures

The two principle chemical admixtures in SCC are a synthetic high-range waterreducer (superplasticizer) and a viscosity modifying admixture (VMA). Thesemay be used by themselves but are more commonly used together.10

Superplasticizers

Superplasticizers are a water-reducing admixture that causes a significantincrease in flowability with little effect on viscosity.11 For example, the additionof 0.3 to 1.5 percent (by weight of cement) conventional superplasticizer to a

concrete mix with 50-70 mm slump increases slump to 200-250 mm.12 SeeFigure 3.

Superplasiticizers have been on themarket for more than 30 years.However, these had the problem of retarding intial set and inhibiting complete hydration of cementparticles. The new generation of superplasticizers is based onpolycarboxylated ethers, which actas powerful cement dispersants thatrequire less mix water to providedramatic increase in flow. Some of these have also been engineered to setmore rapidly and provide more complete cement hydration. Polycarboxylate-based superplasticizers are now available from about 50% of the producers of ready-mix concrete in the US, truly opening up the market for SCC.13

The primary negative effect when adding superplasticizer alone to concrete is

that the mix may have a tendency to segregate and bleed. There are two pathsto avoid this problem, involving modifying mix proportions and use of viscosity modifying admixtures. More about each will be discussed later.

Segregation can also occur with a normally consolidating concrete if over- vibrated.14

Another limitation of superplasticizers is that the concrete will lose its high-consistency in 30-60 minutes, reverting back to its original slump. Therefore,there is only this short window of time between mixing and placing. Forprecast concrete, this is usually not a complication. In fact, in precast, it isoften desirable to have this short duration before regaining stiffness, especially for steam curing, which is a more rapid way to cure concrete.15

On the other hand, the high slump loss characteristic that occurs with adding superplasticizer may pose a serious problem for ready-mix concrete. On thejob site, many other factors may cause a time delay between mixing and

pouring. Such unforeseen occasions could lead to wasted concrete and labor, if not requiring more for repair. Researchers have discovered two methods of dealing with this problem.16

The first is to perform repeat dosages of superplasticizer after slump loss, tomaintain workability over several hours. After the second or third dosages,however, the concrete mix may become prone to segregation. The secondstrategy is to add a retarding agent to the admixture, which may maintain theincreased slump for 2-3 hours. Such admixtures with these retarding agents aretermed low-slump-loss superplasticizers and have been used in hot-weatherconcrete where the high temperature induces quicker setting times.17

Several tests have been performed on superplasticized concrete vs. controlmixes. The following table shows how several important properties of SCCachieved with superplasticizers compare to those of low-slump and high-slumpcontrol mixes:

The superplasticizers used were melamine sulfonate and naphthalene sulfonateand increased slump of the control mixture from 75 mm to 215 and 230 mm,respectively.18

The primary purpose behind using superplasticizers is in achieving highly flowable concrete while maintaining low water and high fines content. Low

water-to-cement ratio is a principal factor enhancing strength, durability,permeability and shrinkage. See Figure 4. The latest generation of this

admixture allows retaining high

performance in these categories whilemaking an otherwise unworkableconcrete highly flowable during the timerequired.

Superplasticizers can be expensive,adding about $5 per cubic yard of concrete. However, savings in labor andtime quickly outweigh the additional cost.

Mix Proportioning

The portioning of the mix is extremely important in developing an effectiveSCC. This involves either modifying the cement paste, or carefully tuning theaggregates, or both.19 The interlocking of coarse aggregates is integral to thestrength of the concrete.20 With coarse aggregate, changing interparticlespacing most practically changes the flowability of concrete. Interparticlespacing depends on particle size distribution and the cement paste. Thecement paste must work with the coarse aggregates to fill the interstitial voidsfor a given particle size distribution of aggregate and produce a desirableinterparticle spacing. Several researchers have produced mixture proportionguidelines from their tests, in terms of ratios between coarse and fine

aggregates, and cement to solids. 21 Others recommend development of anoptimum paste using recommended additional values for such characteristics asaggregate surfaces, aggregate shape, difference in density between aggregate andpaste.22

As mentioned previously, careful mix proportioning is critical for optimizing the performance of the flow-enhancing superplasticizers, which introduce thedanger of segregation to the mix. Coarse aggregates tend to settle with theintroduction of superplasticizer, which causes segregation. There are two pathsone can take to avoid segregation due to superplasticizers.

The first path is to strictly incorporate a smooth distribution of fine aggregates without increasing cement. This will enhance cohesion without requiring more water, which leads to problems with shrinkage and curling. Nasvik recommends 20-25% of this be fly ash, because it has the property of increasing slump flow.23 Monteiro recommends replacing approximately 5% of coarse aggregates with sands, up to 10% if coarse sand.24

A well-graded aggregate mix, however, is not always available, since many

producers lack the more sophisticated equipment and material to do so. Inthis case, mix the designer could pursue a second path, which is to replace a

portion of the coarse aggregate with cementious content. This could be any combination of fly ash, ground limestone25, granulated furnace slag,26 sand, andcement. With the introduction of more cement in a gap graded mix, more

water is needed to completely hydrate the cement. Thus, two potentially deleterious effects arise due to needing more water: higher heat of hydrationand segregation and/or bleeding. Therefore, when taking the second path, useof pozzolan is recommended, since it reduces the added heat of hydration, anduse of viscosity modifying admixtures, to provide stability.27 More about

viscosity modifying admixtures later.

Air entrainment can also be added as necessary to enhance freeze-thaw performance.28 Otherwise, air content between 1.5% and 2.3% in non-air-entrained content has been suggested to maintain workability and flowability.29

Some caution must be taken if the concrete needs to be transportedsignificantly after adding high-range water reducers or viscosity modifying admixtures. Both can destabilize the air-voids of the mix, but properproportioning can produce concrete resistant to freezing and thawing.30

Overall, correct proportioning of the fine and coarse

aggregates, cement paste, water and additives iscritical. Increasing w/c can increase deformability

of the paste, but can reduce cohesiveness.31

Higher

fines content can provide the less segregation.

However, more fines, as well as manufactured sandor inconsistency in fine aggregates, also leads to

higher shrinkage, creep, and warping potential, a

particular concern for flat slabs.32

Okamura

recommends using 50% coarse aggregate, 40% fine

aggregate, 0.9 to 1.0 w/c in volume, and changingthe superplasticizer dosage for the needed self-

compactibility.33

Viscosity Modifying Admixtures

Viscosity Modifiers are used to stabilize the rheology of SCC. They essentially thicken the mix to prevent segregation.34 This viscosity buildup comes fromthe association and entanglement of polymer chains of the VMA at a low shearrate, which further inhibits flow and increases viscosity. At the same time,added VMA causes a shear-thinning behavior, decreasing viscosity, when thereis an increase in shear rate.35

There are various types of VMAs, most of which are composed of eitherpolymer or cellulose-based materials, which “grab and hold” water. The mostimportant aspect is that they do not change any properties of the mix besides

viscosity.36

One of the most well-known VMAs is welan gum, which is anatural type of water soluble polysaccharide. When used in large quantities, ithas proven very effective in stabilizing the rheology of SCCs.37 Severalcommercial VMAs are also on the market and their chemical compositions arepropriety secrets. Currently, these commercial brands and welan gum areknown to be very expensive, increasing cost of the mix by at least 20%.Consequently, there is a great deal of ongoing research in the materialssciences, often with financial support from industry, to develop cheaper VMAs

with equally reliable high performance.

One study coming out of Ryerson University in Canada tested four newly engineered polysaccharide-based VMAs. Performance of four mixes with eachof these new VMAs was compared to two types of control mixes, one with

welan gum and a one with a commercial VMA from a Canadian producer.Results showed that performance of the newly developed admixtures matched,or even beat, the control mixes in properties of slump flow, segregation,bleeding, flow time, setting time, and compressive strength. An importantcharacteristic to note is the increase in setting time caused by addition of

VMAs. This occurs “because the VMA polymer chains become absorbed onto

cement grains and interfere with the precipitation of various minerals intosolutions that influence the rate of hydration and setting.”38

Another study at the National Applied Science Institute of Lyon in Francetested three new viscosity agents: starch, precipitated silica, and industrial starch

waste. They found that aqueous solutions of 20% precipitated silica and, to a

lesser extent, 10% starch performed as the best viscosity agents. In particular,both allowed limited segregation and bleeding, contributed to high 28-day compressive strength, allowed limited permeability, and therefore gooddurability. The only property negatively affected was drying shrinkage, whichincreased 50% due to the reduction in coarse aggregate. To prevent cracking and ensure the concrete develops its potential strength and durability, measuresshould be taken towards proper curing. Overall, these agents could be suitableas alternatives to welan gum.39

VMAs can be used alone, but are more commonly used with superplasticizers.

In this combination, the superplasticizers take on the role of enhancing flow while VMAs act to provide stability. All the while, careful aggregateproportioning still plays a key part. The three acting together can createremarkable SCC, but quality control of each of these materials and over theirproportions becomes that much more critical. In particular, use of superplasticizer makes the mix extremely sensitive to slight changes in watercontent.

Benefits of SCC

The technologically advanced components of SCC work together to create amix that produces numerous benefits. It offers many advantages forcontractors, ready-mix producers, and precast concrete fabricators:

For Contractors:40,41,42 Reduced vibration effort and noise during placing Ability to fill complex forms with limited accessibility More uniform distribution in areas of closely bunched reinforcement

Rapid pumping of concrete Uniform and compact surface Less surface voids and need for rubbing and patching Improved aesthetics of flatwork for less effort

Reduced labor and construction time

For Ready-Mix Producers:43,44

Better perception from customers by offering a technically advanced,higher value concrete mixture

Offers a product that saves customers time and money Faster truck turnaround More efficient use of mixing equipment and delivery Easily expands variety of products offered without adding more

equipment (eg, tilt-up, flatwork, walls, etc.) Improved aesthetics of final product

For Cast-in Place Fabricators: All the above, plus Controlled environment allows easier quality control Easier to achieve qualities of an optimally designed mix Can better guarantee properties due to tight quality control Faster slump loss means concrete is ready for steam-curing quicker

In order for these parties to reap the benefits of SCC, they need an increasedunderstanding of SCC’s complex nature. Declines in skilled labor and quality control in the construction industry will make this a more challenging task for

users. At the same time, developers still need to provide set procedures and ways for users to quantify the qualities of mix characteristics.

Standards

As mentioned before, there are as yet no standard definitions or specifications for SCC.

The term workability includes flowability, mouldability, cohesiveness, andcompactibility of fresh concrete. Flowability is related to consistency.Cohesiveness is a measure of compactibility and finishability, usually measured

by ease of dowelling and visual judgement of resistance to segregation.45

Giventhat workability is so broadly defined by numerous other factors, measuring theproperties of High-Workability Concrete has gone in all directions.

Some believe SCC should not be defined as a new product. New productsrequire all new testing and approval from ACI and ASTM. Since it is still adeveloping technology, many appreciate the flexibility to develop mixes

according to project requirements, currently the industry practice.Until test methods to quantifiably characterize the concrete mix arestandardized, the following are several industry measurement standards usedfor the time being.46

Flowability:

This characteristic is often termed “slump flow” as opposed to “slump”because the initial low viscosity of the SCC causes the concrete in a standardslump test to spread out and flatten so much, the height difference becomes

too little to accurately correlate with the flowability of the mix, not to mentionthe difficulty in measuring the height of the slumped sample. Therefore, slumpflow is measured as the horizontal distance of spreading. Usually, thisdimension is 20-30 inches.47

In the slump flow test a standard slump cone is used and SCC is typically poured in without consolidation efforts. See Figure 6. The flow diameter (Fd)is the mean diameter measured in two perpendicular directions.48 Someresearchers recommend a slump flow value between 500 to 700 mm. At lessthan 500 mm, the mix may have trouble flowing in a confined space. Slumpflow exceeding 700 mm could lead to segregation of the mix.49

Figure 7: V-funnel Test (Lachemi)

The L-box test measures the ability of SCC to flow in a confined space . It tests tosee if the concrete can flow through an L-shaped box with several grilles of rebar designed to inhibit flow.50,51 See Figure 6. Another way to measuredeformability through restricted areas is the V-funnel test. See Figure 7. Afterconcrete is filled into the funnel, the bottom outlet is opened and the time untilflowing stops is measured. To be termed an SCC, it is generally required that

this flow time be less than 6 sec.52

The T50 test measures rate of flow in terms of the time required for SCC toreach 19-3/4 inches (or 50 cm) in diameter in the slump flow test.53 Bui et al.states that the flow time of SCC should be no larger than 12 seconds.54

Stability:

Stability is the characteristic of SCC to resist segregation . It is often quantified with the Visual Stability Index, which ranges from 0 to 3 in increments of 0.5.55

Another, more exact segregation test, is to pour 2 liters fresh concrete over a5 mm mesh and measure the mass of mortar passing though the screen in 5min. The segregation index (SI) of a stable concrete should be less than 5%.56

Current Action:

ASTM C 09.47 subcommittee is in the process of voting on a terminology standard and standard methods for conducting the slump flow test. They are

also developing a way to use existing compressive strength test methods onSCC.57 Another fresh concrete property in definite need of study is formwork pressures, in particular, the effects of SCC’s changing viscosity characteristic.

Long-term evaluation also needs to be made specifically in areas of creep,shrinkage, and modulus of elasticity.58

Application

SCC technology originated in Japan in the early 1980s,59 arising out of durability concerns due to poor compaction on the job site.60 Use of SCC quickly became widespread in Japan, especially since the government implemented aplan to use SCC for 50% of all concrete jobs by 2003. It then spread to

Europe in the 1990’s after invention of polycarboxylate superplasticizers. Inthe UK, The Concrete Society has issued official measures to expand the use of SCC as a means of replacing vibratory compaction.61

In the US and Canada, SCC technology is available mostly in the form of proprietary concrete mixes from ready-mix producer subsidiaries of cementmanufacturers such as Lafarge and Lehigh. It is also available as specializedadmixtures combining superplasticizer and viscosity modifiers.62

Given how important maintaining mix quality of SCC is for its successfulperformance, using SCC demands increased attention and skill. In particular,superplasticizer dramatically increases the sensitivity of the mix to water. Thisallows little room for error in mix proportioning, which can becomeproblematic in-field when weather and timing can not always be controlled by the contractor. In light of this, most applications of SCC in the US have beenlimited to precast construction due to tighter quality control ensured in-plantcompared to in-field.63 However, the industry has shown eagerness to expandits use. Whereas in 2000, only about 10% of the precast industry had triedSCC, by 2003, the number jumped to almost 90%, of which 40% used it on a

regular basis.

Some notable projects have utilized SCC in Canada. One is the TorontoInternational Airport, where concrete had to be pumped upwards from theground to form 101-foot tall columns. Another project in Vancouver, B.C

used SCC so little patching would be required for highly visible, outriggercolumns.64 In Asia, SCC was used for a monolithic foundation mat inSingapore where the concrete needed to reach massive dimensions in a shortamount of time. In the US, a high-strength SCC was imperative forconstructing tightly reinforced elements poured in below-freezing weather forthe 68-story Trump Tower in New York City.65 SCC has also shown successfulapplication for residential projects, such as homes for Habitat for Humanity inthe Houston area.66
